Mexico boss Juan Carlos Osorio pleased with Giovani dos Santos' cameo against Wales: "He can be a very influential player"

CARSON, Calif. – Giovani dos Santos drew high marks from Mexico boss Juan Carlos Osorio following his brief showing in Mexico’s scoreless draw with Wales on Monday.

Dos Santos went 20 minutes in a second-half cameo for El Tri in front of a packed crowd of 82,345 at the Rose Bowl. The 29-year-old forward looked dynamic at times as a withdrawn striker in the rather dull draw.

Following the match, the Mexico boss said he was pleased with the veteran striker’s brief cameo.

“Yes, [I was happy with Gio],” Osorio said postgame.
